New Delhi: Advertisements are coveted assets of brands. Narratives that pertain to family, social values, funny moments of life and so on, often tug at the viewers’ heart, leaving them with more than just a promotional message.
This week, BestMediaInfo.com has included work done by WhatsApp, Tata Neu, boAt, Facebook, Bharat Matrimony, Tira and Hilton.
1. WhatsApp releases ode to people living away from home
WhatsApp launched a privacy campaign aimed to focus on the importance of secure communication. The campaign aims to show how WhatsApp creates a safe space for people living away from home, to have their most private conversations with their loved ones while building a new community and adjusting to a new life, underscoring WhatsApp’s commitment to user-privacy through built-in layers of privacy and security features added over the years.
Conceptualised by BBDO India and directed by Indian film director, Shimit Amin, the ad film follows the journey of a young man who moves to a new city to pursue his passion for becoming a professional chef.
Capturing some moments of him adapting to a new culture, learning a new language, and finding his feet in a new work environment, the campaign shows how WhatsApp provides him a safe space to be his most authentic and confident self, even in his most vulnerable moments.
The film educates users on privacy features like Block and Report, Two-step verification and Meta Verified.
2. Tata Neu highlights ‘bets gone wrong’ to spotlight HDFC Bank Credit Card’s offers
The campaign features a series of films that depict the penalty being paid by people for not believing in the card's offer.
The films conceptualised in-house centre around the theme of "a bet gone wrong." Each vignette opens with a scenario where the protagonist, being overconfident in their knowledge, has made a friendly wager and lost.
The protagonist is seen facing the penalty and reiterating what they have discovered about the Tata Neu HDFC Bank Credit Card offers.
3. boAt teams up with Marvel for ‘Deadpool & Wolverine’ movie
The campaign kicks off with a twist as boAt's co-founder and CMO, Aman Gupta, discovers his car vandalised by his own marketing team, inspired by his directive to "Go Crazy for the campaign."
The campaign features three videos starring personalities: Indian actor and producer Tusshar Kapoor, Tajikistani playback singer, boxer, and social media influencer Abdu Rozik, and Indian actor and producer Mukesh Rishi, known as Bulla.
In the first video, Rishi (Bulla) unboxes the Airdopes Alpha Deadpool edition in his rhyming style. The second video showcases Rozik boxing in the ring, competing for the coveted Airdopes Alpha. In the third video, Kapoor promotes the limited edition Airdopes Alpha in his character style.

4. Facebook urges to ‘Get more into what you’re into’
Created by Fundamental, the campaign aims to highlight Facebook’s people-powered communities. The campaign aims to say, “If you have an interest, any interest, this is the platform that’ll make you fall even more in love with it.”
The narratives are built around four young protagonists who find other like-minded folks on Facebook and end up nurturing and deepening their interests. Their passions vary from gardening to DIY coffee and from unusual topics like ghost stories to finding a niche even when it comes to something as popular as cricket.
Shared experiences and the collective wisdom of a world that truly gets them, makes their journeys all the better.
